What’s different about us? It starts with our people. Our entire team is made up of hand-picked individuals from varied backgrounds but with skill sets perfectly suited to what we do. We’re all hard-working people—that’s a tradition here in the North Country; we like things casual and we like to have a good time. Some of the team is young, just starting out, while others have decades of work experience. We also like a personal approach—that’s how we do things here—and that’s one of the things that sets Nugent Jewelry apart—we bring the show to you, along with lots of fun, positive energy that cuts through the formalities and helps us build friendships as well as partnerships.
At a young age, my father instilled in me a key fact: that the change of just one degree makes a big difference. At 211 degrees Fahrenheit, water is just water. At 212 degrees, water turns
into steam which can power a 110-ton locomotive! I’ve taken that wisdom to heart in everything I do; taking that extra step because I know that one step—one degree—can create powerful transformation.
This mentality of going the extra mile extends to how we treat our customers, our partners and our manufacturers. I believe that if you treat people with kindness, integrity and respect, you will receive those back in return. This approach is a win-win and the foundation of our company. We always try harder; to be more and do better so that everyone enjoys success.
Our products set us apart. We don’t sell crap. We choose gemstones and design each piece with intention. Fun fact: Many of our designs were started at our kitchen table with my daughter, Izzy! Every item you receive is neatly packaged and handed to you ready to go. You won’t get a bag of loose merchandise from us.
I’ve traveled to Jaipur, India numerous times and have seen where our products are manufactured. I’ve also seen firsthand the pollution, poverty and low standards of living and working that plague Third World countries. Impassioned by what I witnessed, I committed to moving forward with a new manufacturing facility for Nugent Jewelry in Jaipur.
I’m proud to say that we’ll soon be manufacturing out of a 33,000-square-foot facility built with green and recycled materials. This will be only the second pre-certified green building in Jaipur. To be the first green building for jewelry manufacturing is a big step for our industry, and we’re excited to lead the way. Our products will bear our laser-engraved logo, showcasing our commitment to this mindful way of working. This is the Nugent Experience.
